ok Gerrard to Scholes (check the records) Carragher is rubbish lads (i know ya love him) but really come on. "carragher gets the ball turns back da Reina" vidic quality defender. liverpool struggle for that.

torres and Ronaldo very similar, though ronaldo is far better

your windups are legendary how do you do it??torres and ronaldo very similiar, though ronaldo plays on the wing torres upfront?sure why dont we start comparing alonso with evra??"CARRAGHER gets the ball turns back to reina", is a defender not paid to defend??its not that vidic takes three players on and plays a fourty yard pass straight to someones feet.  stick to the antrim gaa thread you obviously dont know whgat your talking about!

[Dubh driocht]

Mentalman- your analysis is VG - totally agree about the full-backs and it's no coincidence that Alonso has been targeted- Rafa was obviously nuts to think about selling him.
When Torres is back what is our best formation up-front ? He can't play Nando, Keane, Kuyt and Riera .

[corn02]

Well, well, well another winner from Kuyt, and another crucial goal.

Very poor performance, sloppy in defence, lethargic and ruderless in attack. It wasn't complacency, it was just bland. Zaki's second was a cracker and you could only appluad such a strike. But, as we have proven plenty this year, we don't give up. A game is 90 minutes and we play until the last seconds.

Good to get the Bruce thing off our back too.

Arbeloa had impressed me but he has been poor lately. Dossena is a real worry, not only is his touch and passing poor but his positioning is his worst attribute. Playing 2-4-4 at the end was surreal.

I don't know if anybody has seen this already, some cracking impersonations

Didn't see any of the match as I was at a wedding yesterday,Had to rely on me auld lad to keep me updated thru text.
Im a bit worried that the last two games while we may have won in the end it took a player to be sent off before they got the late goals,As i said I haven't see a minute of the game so maybe it wasn't as bad as I think,Will have to watch MOTD tonight

I was pretty confident watching both that Liverpool would get the equalizer and probably go on to win. Doesn't mean that they would have or that the sendings-off didn't influence the outcome. Whether recent results were red-card influenced aberrations or not will be determined over the course of the next few months.

Well for me, Wigan looked comfortable enough until the sending off. With 20mins to go i was just hoping to get the draw. A very poor performance - in particular dossena & pennant were brutal. All over the pitch, we seemed to be very lack lustre and showed no urgency at all. That said, again liverpool showed great character to come back from a goal down, and never panicked even when chasing the goal. Kuyt is on a great run of form and again got the all important winner.

but anyway a great result, and badly needed given the chelsea, utd & arsenal results. Man U & Chelsea in particular seem to be moving up through the gears - i just hope liverpool are able to stay with them.

El Zhar done well when he came on again, hes a great impact sub to have (in the absence of Babel).

Im impressed with Rafa's team selections this season, hes not getting have the abuse he used to from the press.

Probably because they are winning rather than they agree with his selections,Its hard to be critical for a manager when his team is winning,Only Eamon Dunphy is dumb enough to do that

Yea just goes to show how fickle the british press are... and dunphy is a tube. Whatever he says has to be taken with an onze of salt.

Talk about degrading... You can hardly watch the game with the NY Giants markings - I don't how they can play it!

I think the Red Bulls are moving to their own more modest, but suitable, ground next season.

Juan Pablo Angel has certainly come down in the world!

I know - it hurts my eyes watching that.

The Red Bulls have a nice little stadium under construction in New Jersey somewhere - a more modest 25,000 seat place

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has confirmed he is checking on Wigan star Ami Zaki, after the African hit-man scored a memorable double at Anfield on Saturday.

The Egyptian striker has taken the Premier League by storm this season with seven goals in his first eight game making him top scorer in England's top-flight.

He highlighted his form with a brilliant brace at Liverpool, which included a stunning volley at the Kop end.

Wigan signed the forward on loan from El Zamalek in his homeland and they always stated that they had secured first refusal on him.

No deal
However, in recent days, Zamalek have insisted that they will sell the player to which ever club they want, and Manchester City are already thought to have made contact via their new Abu Dhabi-based owners.

"We will have the right to sell Zaki to any club," Zamalek president Mamdouh Abbas stated.

But Benitez, who looks set to be in the market for a new front-man come January, has intriguingly admitted that he will also be taking a close look at Zaki after his outstanding display against the Spaniard's side on Saturday.

"Everybody will be checking his situation now," Benitez admitted in The Times.



Bet Wigan arent too happy about this
If the scousers were to get Zaki, would Keane be Liverpool's most expensive sub ever?

[AZOffaly]

I think this is paper talk, and a red herring. Benitez's quote, after being asked would he buy Zaki, was 'I'm sure everybody will be checking his situation now, but we are not unhappy with Torres'.
